Modern style for home decor is a form of art that choose simple design which looks elegant.

Use of art piece & furniture – Upper class style is incomplete without elegance. In order to provide your living room unconventional looks, you must add some pieces of fine art work by great artists. Since base colors are used on the walls, you have ample opportunity to add numerous colorful art pieces in your room including modern paintings, furniture and sculptures to give visual treat to the onlookers.
Choice of Lighting – Once you are done with color scheme, art work and furniture, it’s time to pay attention to the lightings. Use lean lamps with metallic or black finish that give bright light to the top. Avoid using too many lights; it will kill the modern theme. You can also use down light for ceiling which is not too bright and create the shadow effect of different objects kept in the room while keeping the minimalistic feature intact.
